"She was of a full model, wall-sided, rather hard in the bilge and with a flat floor, though she grew somewhat sweeter aft. Above the waterline, she was lovely. . . . She was the last achievement in sailing-ship building and rigging: nothing finer had been done, or ever was done." But her very first voyage started with disaster. While still under tow she ran into heavy...
